Alicia Maravilla

I was a teacher for almost a decade, and I'm telling you. Alicia is really good at this. I'm buying another package ASAP.

Alicia is a great teacher. Loves language,speaks very clearly and uses subject matter geared to your personal interests. I highly recommend her if you’re serious about learning Spanish. Especially Mexican spanish.

Just finished my 20th lesson with Alicia. I've tried a total of 12 teachers on italki and she's the one that I keep coming back to! Her classes feel like a video call with a friend - casual, funny, and interesting. The vast majority of lessons are conversational where we talk about our daily lives, which is the best way to practice speaking. I even met her puppy when she first got her! She also is very creative with lesson ideas. We've watched videos and chatted about them, played games, or gone over grammatical topics that I didn't fully understand. She comes prepared with good explanations and practice exercises. It's amazing to see how far I've come in just a few months. Thank you Alicia for all of your help and patience throughout my language learning journey!!!

Wonderful teacher

Thank you so much for taking the time to break down concepts I completely forgot about and need to refresh!

Wonderful and fun lesson! Explored el dia de Los muertos, and all of the cultural details. Concluded with an enjoyable short movie. Great time!!!!
